Most adult voters are too young to remember it firsthand, hence the perception. Basically anyone under the age of 50 likely won't have a clear picture. For a better understanding:
If you were born in 1980, you would've witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall when you were 9 years old.
Turns out just being able to show up at the office interview wearing khaki pants and making eye contact with your future boss counts for more than optimizing graph trees via psychic technomancy.
Christ, that poor Intel engineer is probably out on the unemployment line right now
As someone with a degree in CompSci I hate how true this is. I knew so many brilliant programmers during my course that I had constant imposter syndrome... and 5 years out some of the ones I once regarded as the most talented still live with their parents because they can't pass the turing test equivalent of an interview lol
One person I knew in particular was so physically incapable of getting through a single conversation without whipping out some pretentious insult that he'd make both Gregory House and Sheldon Cooper look like sycophants by contrast, hahaha
This is true, and very many self-proclaimed leftists already argue against it as such. "How dare you fund NASA when poverty has not yet been eradicated by a utopian society!!"
We'd still be living in mudhuts with outhouses if it were up to these people.
It's not an accident, but intentionally taught propaganda to keep the masses from ever banding together and rising up. Imagine if they'd told all the peasants in 18th century France that someday, they might become royalty too!
Me too, it's definitely had a fundamental impact on how people interact with each other online. But also, less page long flamewars is the silver lining I suppose lol
That’s like opening a cupboard in the kitchen to get something then just leaving the cupboard open isn’t it?
This is a thousand times more annoying!
And every other person I have ever shared a house with does it, it is sociopathic, how can people have attention spans this goddamn small, it takes 2 seconds, I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds-
Bwahahahahaha that's crazy
How can people stand it?
